Earl's breath quickened, the bulging veins on his face revealing his inner rage.
The entire restaurant's atmosphere was engulfed by this fury, so oppressive it made it hard to breathe.
It was over...
It looked like a confrontation was inevitable.
However, the Earl had not yet made a move because he was unsure of Jiang Xiao's true power.
"Strike first to gain the upper hand, capture the king to catch the thief!"
Shi Shi chanted silently in her mind; she knew that by controlling the young Earl, they had a chance to turn the tables.
Suddenly, Shi Shi gave a light shout and leapt forward like a cheetah, vaulting over the dining table and appearing instantly in front of the young Earl.
Her arm moved like lightning to grab a Western table knife from the table, its tip glinting coldly, and she placed it directly on the young Earl's throat.
"Let's see who dares to move!"
Shi Shi's voice was icy, her eyes determined; her swift and decisive action stunned everyone present.
